More Than Ever a Veteran --Notes --Index --About the AuthorLargely overshadowed by World War II’s “greatest generation” and the more vocal veterans of the Vietnam era, Korean War veterans remain relatively invisible in the narratives of both war and its aftermath. Yet, just as the beaches of Normandy and the jungles of Vietnam worked profound changes on conflict participants, the Korean Peninsula chipped away at the beliefs, physical and mental well-being, and fortitude of Americans completing wartime tours of duty there. Upon returning home, Korean War veterans struggled with home front attitudes toward the war, faced employment and family dilemmas, and wrestled with readjustment. Not unlike other wars, Korea proved a formative and defining influence on the men and women stationed in theater, on their loved ones, and in some measure on American culture. In the Shadow of the Greatest Generation not only gives voice to those Americans who served in the “forgotten war” but chronicles the larger personal and collective consequences of waging war the American way.VeteransUnited StatesHistory20th centurySoldiersUnited StatesHistory20th centuryKorean War, 1950-1953United StatesUnited StatesArmed ForcesHistory20th centuryVeteransHistorySoldiersHistoryKorean War, 1950-1953951.904240973Pash Melinda L.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1561161DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910785966903321In the Shadow of the Greatest Generation3827661UNINA
